Abstract Introduction: The risk of rupture of true renal artery aneurysms is low but when they are bigger than 2 - 2.5 cm it increases significantly, making treatment essential. The need to use alternatives to conventional techniques in order to avoid predictable complications as coil migration is mandatory.Discussion: Routinely-used techniques in interventional neuroradiology such as flow diverters or those assisted with an occlusion balloon or stent have are suitable alternatives for complex aneurysms.Conclusion: Interventional neuroradiology devices such as the Cascade Net stent (Perflow Medical and Grupo Logsa) and Solitaire AB stent retriever (Medtronic) are valid and safe options. We describe the technique of such devices.

Renal artery aneurysms are rare and typically found incidentally. Risk of rupture drives the incentive for repair, which can be achieved by both open and endovascular techniques. Ex vivo repair with renal auto-transplantation is recommended for complex aneurysms involving distal or multiple arteries. Here we describe a successful treatment of a renal artery aneurysm after previous endovascular treatment failure. A multi-layered stent was left misplaced inside of the aneurysm. Ex vivo repair with renal auto-transplantation allowed for complete aneurysm exclusion. With increasing use of endovascular techniques, failure of endovascular treatment might become a common indication for ex vivo repair in renal artery aneurysms.

Abstract Flow diverters (FDs) have changed the management of brain aneurysms; not only for complex aneurysms (giant, fusiform and blister) refractory to conventional therapies, but also for unruptured lesions previously managed by traditional surgical or coil-based endovascular methods. Since 2011 when the PipelineTM Embolization Device (Medtronic) was cleared by the Food and Drug Administration for adults with large or giant wide-neck intracranial aneurysms of the internal carotid artery proximal to the posterior communicating segment, the role of flow diversion for aneurysm treatment has expanded—supported by favorably low complication and high cure rates compared with alternative treatments. Here we review the key clinical trials and the long term outcomes that have demonstrated safety and efficacy of minimized porosity endoluminal devices in the treatment of cerebral aneurysms.

Twelve cases of ruptured cerebral aneurysm were treated in acute stage with interlocking detachable coils (IDC, Target Therapeutics, Fremont, California) and the outcome was assessed. IDCs were placed intra-aneurysm for intra-aneurysmal occlusion, or intra-artery for proximal occlusion. Cases: age 36–84 (mean; 60) y.o., 11 females and 1male; 1, 5, 4 and 2 patients were categorised (Hunt and Hess) as grades 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. An intra-aneurysmal occlusion in ten cases and a proximal occlusion in two were performed on day 1–11 (mean 4). On angiograms and CT findings, the ruptured point seemed to have occluded in all cases. The occlusion rate was 100% in five cases, 95% in two, 90% in three, 80% in one, and less than 50% in one. There were two cases of technical complication, one a coil migration and the other an aneurysmal perforation with IDC. Their Glasgow Outcome Scale six months after embolisation was graded as good recovery in four cases, moderately disabled state in two, severely disabled state in one, and dead in five. Follow-up angiograms taken four to six months after embolisation showed an intra-aneurysmal coil compaction in five cases. Two of these were treated by a second embolisation or by neck clipping followed by aneurysmal resection, but another two were observed without any treatment and the last one died of rebleeding. Histological examination of the resected embolised aneurysm revealed slight organization around coils but no endothelialisation over the aneurysmal orifice. In our experience, coil embolisation with IDC for acute ruptured aneurysm is a promising means of preventing rerupture during subacute stage.

Background Flow diverter stents represent a new endovascular tool to treat complex aneurysms, such as giant, large, wide-necked and fusiform. The highly dense mash of these stents reduces inflow and outflow inside the aneurysm, resulting in intra aneurysmal thrombosis and stent endothelialization. Objectives To present the results of treatment of intracranial aneurysms with flow diverter stents in a single center. Methods Retrospective review of 77 patients with 87 aneurysms treated using two different types of flow diverter stent, the Pipeline Embolization Device and SILK stent, between October 2010 and September 2013 in an interventional neuroradiology center. Results Flow diverter stent placement was successful in 98% of the lesions and resulted in an immediate major stasis within most of the treated aneurysms. The overall aneurysm occlusion rate at six months and 18 months was 80% and 84% respectively. Symptomatic complications occurred in 11 patients (14.3%) with morbidity in eight (10.4%) and mortality in three patients (3.9%). Conclusion Flow diversion is a promising technique for treatment of challenging intracranial aneurysms with acceptable morbidity. A high rate of complete occlusion for small large necked aneurysms, a low morbidity and mortality rate and no recanalization encourage their use in these aneurysms. Further studies accessing long-term aneurysm occlusion and recanalization are required.

Introduction : Endovascular treatment for large and giant aneurysms has included either a reconstructive approach or a deconstructive approach by parent artery occlusion. 1,2 Stent‐assisted coiling and balloon‐assisted coiling were alternative techniques developed to deal with such complex aneurysms, but studies have shown less expected efficacy. This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of the flow diverter stents for treating large and giant intracranial aneurysms and to examine possible predictors for radiological and clinical outcomes such as location and presence of branching artery, bifurcation, and adjuvant coiling. Methods : This study had been conducted on 65 consecutive patients with 65 large and giant aneurysms (size ≥ 10 mm) treated with flow diverters; Periprocedural complications were reported in all patients and clinical outcomes. Follow‐up angiography was done for 60 patients (92.3%) at 12 months. Results : The study included 65 patients who harbored 65 aneurysms. The median age was 55.5 years (IQR: 44.25 ‐ 62.75 years), the female represented 70.8 % of all patients. The clinical presentation had been reported (Headache, cranial nerve palsy, motor deficit, seizures, and visual field defect in 40 patients (61.5%), nine patients (13.8%), seven patients (10.8%), five patients (7.7%), and four patients (6.2%) respectively. The vascular risk factors had been reviewed (HTN, DM, smoking, and Hyperlipidemia in 25 patients (9.2%), Six patients (9.2%), sixteen (24.6%), and 10 patients (15.4%) respectively). The median size of aneurysms was 16.4 mm (IQR: 12.50 ‐ 23.85 mm) and the median neck width was 7.15 mm (IQR: 5.85‐10.24 mm). Fourteen aneurysms (21.4 %) had previous treatment, eleven aneurysms (16.9%) were treated by coils only, one case (1.5%) by assisted procedure, one case (1.5%) by previous FDS, and parent artery occlusion in one case (1.5%). Complete occlusion in 50 from 60 aneurysms (83.4%), neck remnant in 8 aneurysms (13.3%), and sac remnant in two aneurysms (3.3%). Periprocedural problems were encountered in 14 patients (21.5%) with morbidity in six patients (9.2%) and mortality in one patient (1.5%). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to discover possible predictors of combined mortality and morbidity and occlusion in Table (1). Conclusions : From this study, it could be concluded that Endovascular treatment of the large and giant aneurysms with flow diverters represents a safe method for treating this kind of complex intracranial aneurysms. Complex aneurysms with branching artery and bifurcation were associated with aneurysm persistence and complications respectively while the location of the aneurysm was the only predictor for clinical outcome.

Detachable coils are established as a safe and effective treatment option for some patients with intracranial aneurysms. However this treatment is not useful for the treatment of certain types of complicated aneurysms. Wide-necked or broad-based aneurysms are still complicated to embolize because of the risk of coil migration or coil protrusion into the parent vessel. The Neuroform stent has recently been introduced for the treatment of complex aneurysms. The stent functions primarily to provide durable parent vessel protection during embolization. This report demonstrates coil migration occurring as a delayed complication of Neuroform stent-assisedt coil embolization of a small intracranial aneurysm.
